Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:1-10

Ezekiel 34:1-2 Samuel : . Importance of Good Government.— But besides moral excellence on the part of its citizens (Ezekiel 33) a state needs good government. This chapter is a very severe indictment of the rulers or kings of Israel in the past, who are compared to shepherds— and the figure is maintained throughout the chapter— that have neglected or abused the flock. Governors should govern in the interests of the governed; but those “ shepherds” had used their power to feed themselves and... read more

THE REPROOF OF THE FALSE SHEPHERDS AND A PROMISE OF THE GOOD AND TRUE SHEPHERD (Chap. 34)EXPLANATORY NOTES.—Ezekiel 34:1. “Prophesy against the shepherds.” “The trouble which the prophet here encounters arises from the loss of civil government. The seeming loss, he contends, is a real gain, as the present government was so bad.”—Hengstenberg. Keil designates the turning against the bad shepherds as a foil for the ensuing promise.Ezekiel 34:2. “Woe to the shepherds.” The rulers who sought in... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Ezekiel 34:1-31

Chapter 34Now in chapter 34, God speaks out against those faithless shepherds of Israel. Those men that were the spiritual leaders, those men to whom the people looked for spiritual guidance, who had left the real concept of the ministry. The Lord said to His disciples, "The heathen or the Gentiles do love to exercise lordship over each other, but it shall not be so among you. For whosoever would be chief among you, let him become the servant of all" ( Mark 10:42-44 ). You remember how when... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Ezekiel 34:1-31

Ezekiel 34:2 . Woe to the shepherds of Israel. The character of the pastors which follow, distinguishes the industrious from the idle shepherds: the words apply to magistrates and ministers. A magistrate, says Plato in his republic, should regard himself as sustaining the office of a shepherd, who makes the care of the flock his chief profession, and not as a man who goes to a feast to indulge in appetite, or to a market for gain. From Eusebius. See on Isaiah 56:11. Ezekiel 34:12 . As... read more

Ezekiel 34:1-10Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? The unfaithful shepherdsI. Human rulers stand in the same relation to the people whom they rule as shepherds to their flocks. Therefore the qualifications required are similar.1. A special knowledge (Genesis 46:34). So to rule men successfully requires a knowledge of men. Christ is the preeminent Ruler of men, because He knows them--because He needs not that any should “testify of... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Ezekiel 34:1-10

1-10. The shepherds of the people, instead of feeding the flock, were feeding upon the flock, eating the fat (LXX., milk), and living in ease and luxury, while “my sheep” (Ezekiel 34:5, LXX.) were scattered and becoming a prey to wild beasts (surrounding nations). The shepherds of Israel like the contemporary heathen kings who loved to call themselves “shepherds” in their inscriptions have not cared for the sick or lame, but “with rigor have ye ruled over them” (Ezekiel 34:4, R.V.).
